The ICC Under-19 Men’s Cricket World Cup 2022 has been named with victorious captain Yash Dhull chosen to skipper a line-up of future stars. Bangladesh pacer Ripon Mondol has been included in the team.
Tigers’ representative in the team comes in the form of right-arm seamer Ripon, who took wickets in all but one of Bangladesh’s games. Against Canada and India he took four-fers to end the tournament on 14 wickets, the joint third-highest of the 2022 competition. Overall, eight nations are represented in the 12-strong line up as champions India lead the way with three players included.
Pace is provided by the likes of Josh Boyden, Awais Ali and Ripon Mondol with all-rounders Tom Prest and Dunith Wellalage the spin options alongside Vicky Ostwal. South Africa’s Dewald Brevis was announced as the Player of the Tournament for the ICC Under 19 Men’s Cricket World Cup 2022 in West Indies for his record-breaking run haul.
The side was pulled together by a selection panel including commentators Samuel Badree, Natalie Germanos, ICC Match Referee Graeme Labrooy and journalist Sandipan Banerjee.
Yash Dhull, who captained India to the ICC Under 19 Men’s Cricket World Cup 2022, has been named as skipper of the Upstox Most Valuable Team of the Tournament.
The right-hander takes up his place at number four having hit 229 runs in the competition, including one century, and his deployment of his bowlers was crucial in leading his side to overall victory in the tournament.
His opposite number in the final, England’s Tom Prest, sits one place below them in the batting order of the Upstox Most Valuable Team of the Tournament having hit 292 runs in six games, the third most of the competition. Dewald Brevis, a right-handed batter, received the accolade of Player of the Tournament after crashing 506 runs across six matches to become only the second player to hit over 500 runs at an Under-19 Men’s Cricket World Cup.
In doing so, the 18-year-old passed Indian legend Shikhar Dhawan’s total for the most runs in a single tournament, hitting one more run than Dhawan managed in 2004.
Brevis also took seven wickets in the competition returning best figures of 2-18 against Uganda during the group stages.
